How to get rid of old batteries in Allegany County

Alkaline batteries go in the trash. Lithium, rechargeable, and car batteries need special disposal: Penn-Mar Recycling takes household batteries free, and the county’s hazardous waste events take rechargeables. The refuse sites don’t take car batteries.
